Tomaoo will have to disagree with you there. The Dubliners are not a patch on the Saw Doctors

Here we go again. Another Dublin thread!!

They did some great tunes allright. One of my favs is McAlpines Fusiliers. Grace would have to be up there too.

Luke and Barney were the soul of the Dubliners. Luke remains my all time favourite balladeer.

Luke Kelly was the Dubliners, Ronnie Drew was a distant second. Luke by far the better singing voice

Your ignorance is sureal.This is non GAA or do you hate everything Dublin.The Dubliners are a one of the best folk groups of all time IMO.I like many more too that are from outside the pale.

the Dubliners and the Saw Doctors not a patch on More power to your elbow!

The Dubliners and the Dublin City Ramblers were great.
Liked some of the Wolfe Tones stuff but i did'nt like the way they always exploited the Northern Ireland situation for their own gain, Christy made a song about anything topical as long as it went against the Establishment too !!

I'm not from Dublin,but the Dubliners are the best ever Irish folk band to walk on this earth !

To me they are a 'Dublin' folk group who sing about 'Dublin' things, they have no national appeal as far as I am concerned.
